Tete Yengi, born on 28 November 2000 (age 25), is an Australian striker with Machida Zelvia. At a commanding 6ft 6in (1.97m), he is an obvious focal point, though his career to this stage has been built more on steady usefulness than any great fuss.
His most productive league spell came with VPS in 2022, when he scored seven goals in 24 appearances. That remains the clearest marker of his output so far: respectable, direct and enough to keep him moving upwards without inviting the usual over-excitement.
By 2026-27 he is still involved regularly at first-team level for Machida Zelvia. He has made 18 appearances in all competitions, scoring five goals, including two in five J1 League matches and three in 13 J1 100 Year Vision League outings. He has also represented Australia this season, making two World Cup appearances.
His current market value is around £213,000, according to Transfermarkt. For now, Yengi’s career is that of a developing Australian centre-forward establishing himself in Japan while staying in the national-team conversation.
